Abstract
The American Group Psychotherapy Association (AGPA) hosts the Anne and Ramon Alonso Plenary Address each year at its annual conference. In the 2022 plenary address, AGPA's newly elected president, Dr Gary Burlingame, discusses his identity formation as a person, therapist, and group researcher and highlights several reasons why the future of group therapy is bright. These reasons include (1) solid scientific evidence for group therapy effectiveness, (2) strong scientific evidence for format equivalence, (3) links between evidence-based group factors and client improvement, (4) evidence-based support for multicultural competence, (5) AGPA progress in supporting the clinical practice of group, and (6) increasing public and professional exposure of groups. Dr Burlingame closes the address with a call to renew AGPA's commitment to community and the power of relationship.
